One of the first JRPGs to release in 2022 is Maglam Lord: a side view action RPG/ dating sim from Pqube. In this review of Maglam Lord I'll tell you everything you need to know, if it's worth it and why it's surprisingly fun and addictive!

🚨 CORRECTION🚨 In the video I said the game was $50. Physically it is, but digital it’s only $40 and has a launch discount. I apologize for any confusion.

You caught me at the whole "mindless" aspect of it. Sometimes I just want to play games to switch off and not necessarily be too deeply invested in a story. Will definitely pick it up on a sale since I am checking off games from the backlog right now. Excellent review as always 💜

It's an "ok" game, I think they could have added more to it to add to the progression grind (like weapon proficiency) & I think there are too few enemy types, it's not a must play but it's worth trying. Though I'd rather have a remastered collection of Summon Night Swordcraft Story, with the 3rd game translated.

Please don't post videos like this, they do more harm than good. You played a game which you enjoyed for 16 hours after choosing not to take the time to see how the story developed because it didn't hook you quickly enough. Even so, you enjoyed your time with it as far as I can tell from the video. This game is made by a small Japanese developer. They rely on the income from one game to fund the next, and yet, even though you enjoyed the experience you're advising viewers to wait for the price to drop before buying it. Small developers have a hard enough time as it is, they don't require someone on KZfaq who enjoyed their game telling everyone willing to listen not to pay full price for the same experience.

He can do whatever he wants, dude. Also, he's NOT requesting his viewers to wait for a price drop, he's suggesting it. In fact, at the time he posted this video, the game is already on sale on the eShop and PS Store, as in a launch discount for the next few days. Even discounted, they can still make back the money they've spent on it thanks to the 2 platforms they're supporting, considering the small budget spent overall. People might grab it digitally on sale right now, maybe they'll buy physical copies at full price to give their support to the developer, who knows. Hell, physical copies will eventually get permanent price drops in the next few weeks/months IF the publisher and the developer deemed it a commercial failure and might give it one last shot at a heavily cut price to recoup the development cost.

​@@TheGamingShelf you enjoyed a full price game, but advised your viewers to wait for a discount and you restate that more than once, even going so far as to suggest waiting for as low as $20. That's what doesn't sit right, and I don't think you understand how detrimental it is to small developers when someone with a significant amount of followers comments in this way. You could have conveyed everything in your review and allowed viewers to make up their own mind (maybe they would have decided to wait for a lower price anyway) without advising on delaying for a big discount. If even 5% of your followers were going to buy the game now and instead listen to you and wait for the game to hit $20, that's $40,000 to 60,000 lost. A tiny amount for a company like EA or Activision, but it makes all the difference to a 16-person developer and their publisher. The best reviews are honest (as yours are) in so far as they point out the positives and negatives of the game allowing the viewer to make up their own mind. I look forward to your future videos, and keep up the good work otherwise.
